of hip-hop and how we receive it
0:23
came from across the pond i remember
0:26
this when she put her down to earth
0:28
album back in her early 90s the same
0:30
year i started working on 106 kml so we
0:33
had to play her music to set the tone
0:37
she had a flow that we wasn't sure where
0:39
she was from
0:41
it even dawned on us that she might have
0:43
been from before from a foreign place
0:45
the way she spit bars gave us an insight
0:48
of a place that we had never been south
0:50
london

2:00
kind of like brooklyn is or what oakland
2:02

2:35
[Applause]
2:40
morning guys what an intro festival oh
2:44
my goodness like how how do you follow
2:47
that intro
2:48
money
2:49
you already you made let me say
2:51
something to you because and you know we
2:54
we known each other for years but i
2:55
don't know how many times yes yes
2:58
absolutely
2:59
your vibe your energy
3:02
uh what you brought to the table your
3:04
music your musicality your personality
3:08
you you your personality
3:10
even added to the packaging
3:13
but it was something you know what
3:14
you've always said that you've
3:16
consistently said that like
3:18
every time we cross each other's paths
3:21
you always pull me to the side and
3:23
you're like you're always just like you
3:24
put your arm around my shoulder and you
3:25
say you know money
3:27
you're just your vibe is just happy and
3:29
your energy is just so good it exudes
3:32
and everybody else gets a piece of it
3:33
whenever you're around you've always
3:35
said that to me
3:37
remember that i do yes absolutely it's
3:39
what i've it's what i felt before i knew
3:42
you
3:43
you know what i mean like being in the
3:45
we all young you know in the clubs i was
3:47
on radio back then have put out some
3:49
music independently and locally
3:51
and it was important to us to support
3:54
things that we thought were dope and you
3:56
was always just like this whirlwind that
3:58
came from where we didn't know and then
4:01
we came from where
4:03
we figured it all out it's like and here
4:06
we are and so and then plus you can hang
4:09
you know we're rapping along the likes
4:10
of a queen latifah
4:15
i've always told you that so i think
4:16
it's important that we recognize folks
4:18
and you know how it is money we've been
4:20
around for a minute and so you gotta
4:21
kind of re-educate people on the
4:23
importance of some of these folks that
4:24
come on this platform absolutely
4:26
absolutely and you know i don't i never
4:28
get offended by that i think i think the
4:31
only time i ever get irritated with the
4:34
um
4:35
the the different sets as far as you
4:38
know the the originators and then those
4:41
who came after them and then those who
4:42
came after i only ever get upset with
4:44
people in anything
4:46
when
4:47
you are adamant against
4:50
learning or researching i don't i don't
4:53
get uh offended by people for instance
4:55
to put it plainly i don't get offended
4:57
by younger people who don't know who i
4:59
am who don't know that i'm an mc the the
5:01
only thing they've ever heard or know
5:03
about me is that oh that's the girl
5:05
she's on the radio you know what i mean
5:07
i don't get offended by that for the
5:09
simple reason that i don't expect
5:12
everybody to know off the back because
5:14
things have changed years have passed
5:16
decades have passed you know what i mean
5:18
but where i get irritated is the the
5:22
handful of folks that you might meet up
5:25
with in life that don't want to learn or
5:28
don't want to research in anything
5:30
whether it be hip-hop whether it be
5:31
radio whether it be you know a
5:34
nine-to-five skill job whatever it is
5:37
you know what i mean that's the only
5:38
time i ever get irritated
5:41
that that makes sense people who are
5:43
closed-minded i don't even know how to
5:45
communicate with that type of person
5:48
i'll be honest with you at this stage in
5:50
my life but i i do like to revisit but i
5:53
want to bring us the present and move
5:55
forward obviously but i love your
5:57
history because it means so much
6:00
um to the culture when they talk when
6:01
we're talking about expansion and when i
6:03
go over to london and france and germany
6:05
you know you've traveled the world and
6:07
it's important that people know who
6:08
these folks are but i'm a dig in a crate
6:11

6:12
moani go ahead i'm a dig in the crate to

8:27
signed to
8:28
um
8:29

8:31
shoot and it was during
8:33
it that was during an awards

8:38
want to say the soul train
8:40
if i'm not mistaken okay
8:42
okay it was an award because everyone
8:44
was out there everyone was out this way
8:46
that's how comes i wind up
8:48
bumping into acanelli in the studio
8:50
because your studio that night was like
8:52
a revolving door
8:54
everybody was coming through it that
8:56
night that was an amazing night and i'm
8:58
i'm so happy we had the wherewithal to
9:00
kind of document all of this stuff since
9:02
the early 90s so
9:04
we sitting on some things ladies and
9:06
gentlemen we got money love here eight
9:07
eight eight seven four two three three
9:09
four five
9:10
uh hb are you there
9:13
bizzle
9:15
tracy yeah i'm here okay rich nice
9:18
i'm right here okay everybody's here um
9:21
moni you're coming back to the mic
9:25
yes uh uh officially see the thing is
9:27
it's funny when i first started right i
9:30
was a closet rapper until shantae
9:32
listening to shantay put the battery in
9:34
my back right and then
9:37
here we are all these years later and i
9:39
have since then become
9:42
uh back to the closetness of myself as
9:44
far as writing and rhyming and you know
9:47
just doing things for friends getting on
9:49
friends songs like rats you know if razz
9:52
asks me to do something it's done
9:54
if el de sensei asked me to do something
9:56
it's done but never really releasing
9:58
anything
9:59
myself and i think i can attribute it to
10:02
my disdain for the business end of
10:05
everything i just i just i just disliked
10:08
the business you know the art and the
10:10
culture end of everything i will forever
10:12
be a preservationist i will forever be a
10:15
culturalist you know as far as what we
10:17
came up in because it brought me from
10:18
one country my love for hip-hop brought
10:20
me from one country to another at 17
10:23
you know so those things will always be
10:25
instilled in me but i did lose
10:28
my appetite for dealing with all of the
10:31
other things the politics and the
10:33
business and the and the clicks
10:36
that happen within the business and also
10:38
as a woman
10:39
the um pigeonholed areas that where if
10:43
you're not doing this then we're not you
10:45
know you need to show a little bit more
10:47
skin money and i'm like
10:49
no you shouldn't show more skin show me
10:51
your skin
10:53
like that's that's not what i did
10:56
you really got that kind of pressure you
10:58
were getting that pressure to just be
11:00
more salacious or what was it what would
11:01
they say absolutely
11:03
absolutely absolutely i got that
11:05
pressure and it's like
11:06
it's like
11:07
you shouldn't have to take anything away
11:10
from the women that are more sexually
11:12
explicit as far as you know the the
11:16
labels and the people uh that uh
11:18
that were your a r directors at the time
11:20
you know this is the a r room let's get
11:22
real with it right so it's like
11:24
you know
11:26
when cam and foxy came out and they they
11:29
owned their sexuality in a forefront
11:32
manner and there's nothing wrong with
11:34
that why couldn't they do that as they
11:36
did
11:37
and the girls that
11:39
are not doing that still continue to do
11:41
what they do
11:43
it's like the anr people and the labels
11:46
decided
11:48
okay
11:48
these girls are doing this and this is
11:50
super successful so now we need all
11:52
girls to do this and it's like
11:55
why why do we all have to do the same
11:57
thing part of the the beauty
11:59
of uh of hip-hop is that there's balance
12:02
like i don't want to listen to every
12:03
single group that sounds like public
12:05
enemy i want public enemy to sound like
12:07
public enemy i don't want everybody else
12:08
to sound like public enemy i don't want
12:10
everybody else to sound like boogie down
12:12
productions and care it's one i i want
12:14
krs one and boo you down to sound like
12:16
them
12:17
i also want the jungle brothers to sound
12:19
like them you know what i mean and
12:22
everybody had everybody had their
12:24
different pockets that they controlled
12:26
that that was their thing that was their
12:28
original contribution to the culture so
12:32
with the women now it's like
12:35
every record label wanted to push a
12:37
woman into into that pigeon hole and if
12:40
you weren't gonna do that then it was
12:42
gonna make things a lot more difficult
12:44
for you and at that point
12:45
you know i met a guy named steve smith
12:48
who flipped a radio station in new york
12:50
from top 40 into a hip-hop flagship
12:52
station and he contacted my manager and
12:55
was like would money be interested in
12:56
doing radio and at the time i was like
12:58
why
13:00
and then i went i met with him he had me
13:04
i got my fcc license what's that
13:06
nowadays don't need one of those anymore
13:13
i'm like damn i ain't got no you know
13:15
this was all happening at the same time
13:17
so i kind of transitioned and developed
13:19
myself a whole nother skill
13:21
during the same moment in time that i
13:23
was losing my lust for
13:25
the business aspect
13:28
of of of hip-hop never lost the love for
13:30
the culture so always continued writing
13:33
always continued making music but you
13:35
know
13:36
in my home or among friends you know in
13:39
in that type form and it wasn't until
13:41
baby paul of the beatminers he's been in
13:43
my ear for
13:45
at least the last four years like come
13:47
on mo
13:49
you know you got you know i see what you
13:50
write i hear what you write nobody else
13:52
hears it
13:53
and i'm like i don't like the business
13:55
paul like i really
13:57
so it wasn't until right before the
13:58
pandemic that he finally broke me down
14:00
and he was like don't worry about any of
14:02
that i'll worry about that because paul
14:05
is is has transcended into positions of
14:08
where he has his own labor he has his
14:09
own production company he has
14:11
distribution like he's really grabbed
14:14
the bull by the horns and the business
14:15
end of things right even more so than
14:18
the production and which he already had
14:20
covered so he talks me into not worrying
14:23
about that end of everything he's like
14:25
just do you
14:26
do your art let me worry about
14:29
everything else just do you mow
14:32
and so it was at that point
14:34
right at the top of the pandemic that i
14:35
actually started
14:37
brainstorming and put in a project
14:39
together and so divine is the first uh
14:42
release
14:43
from that project
14:44
wow yo that you know let me tell you
14:47
something man i you know and i watch
14:49
your radio career and and watch you
14:52

16:45
um when i was still living in new york
16:48
in the tunnel days when the tunnel was
16:50
still hot you know where i'm going
16:51
heather and the tunnel days when the
16:53
tunnels days are still hot right
16:55
we would plant like it would be me and
16:56
heather rowland to to go right and it
16:59

17:07
studio session and then we were in a con
17:08
and we were going to hit the tunnel
17:09
right which is me and her

the point being the point being
17:30
i had to uh make sure that business was
17:32
taken care of before we got in the club
17:34
because we didn't want to get any type
17:36
of harassment or what have you
17:38

17:39
i drove around
17:41
the tunnel the block of the tunnel i
17:43
drove around the block of the tunnel
17:45
about
17:46
20 times
17:49
for her to be done and the whole time i
17:51
was driving around the block i kept
17:53
playing keith murray the most
17:55
beautifulest thing in the world it was
17:56
the single and it flipped over and it
17:58

21:05
they've they've been working hard in the

trenches in london

outside london proper because

london you know there's there's
21:14
manchester there's birmingham there's

you know there's outside london places
21:18
too and there's a lot of girls that are
21:19
coming up through the trenches there too
21:21
but the two that stick out to me the
21:22
most because i've seen them touch
21:25
the bases of
21:26
the united states a little bit and
21:28
people here know them but i'd like to
21:30
see more but more become of that is
21:31
ladies lady lusher and stefan dunn
21:35
nice
21:36
all right
21:38
monet
21:39
this is tracy i'm so happy to speak to
21:42
you and get to know you more because
21:43
admittedly i am one of those people who
21:45
was first introduced to you from radio
21:47
and then with some work realized oh snap
21:50
there is a whole other pop in life
21:52
before i ever heard her
21:55
on the radio and i love all of the
21:58
layers to you um so there's two things
22:00
that i got for you one when you were
22:02
speaking about
22:04
the industry and how you lost your
22:06
appetite for the business side of it for
22:08
the many reasons that we hear many times
22:11
through many artists especially women
22:13
unfortunately
22:14
i've always wondered to myself and i
22:16
want to get your thoughts on if
22:19
a solution would be
22:21
women
22:22
creating labels more because we don't
22:24
often see that
22:27
you know what i'm saying like oh
22:29
oh yeah you've just pinned the tail on
22:31
the donkey love you just have
22:33
absolutely that's it that's what that's
22:36
what needs to happen it there needs to
22:38
be
22:39
um more of us on that on that
22:42
on that end of things there needs to be
22:44
more of us that are actually
22:47
um running the labels that can give that
22:50
level of understanding because
22:51
unfortunately history history has kind
22:54
of shown us that like for the most part
22:57
there just isn't that level of
22:59
understanding on a lot of the labels
23:01
that are let's face it um men ran and
23:04
this isn't me getting into my oh i'm
23:06
gonna bash men this morning on today's
23:08
morning show like no i'm not doing that
23:10
i'm just simply
23:11
answering your question and just being
23:13
as honest as i can yes women really do
23:16
need to be
23:17
more so
23:18
on the uh top vp parts of areas
23:23
positions of labels that are putting out
23:26
other women because i think there's a
23:27
level of um
23:29
creative empathy that we can give
23:31
to each other
23:33
and and understanding like everybody's
23:35
not going to be the same it's this is
23:37
not a cookie cutter you know what i mean
23:39
let the women that are
23:41
in in in charge of of having a prowess
23:45
sexual presence on their music and in
23:48
their uh videos and just in their
23:50
presence let them have that
23:52
and support them
23:54
you know what i'm saying also
23:56
support the girls that are
23:59
backpack you know backpack girl rappers
24:01
you know what i'm saying also support
24:03
the girls that are
24:05
political
24:06
uh righteous social conscious pushing
24:08
that agenda in their presence and then
24:11
like support them all that's that's
24:13
where i'm going with it yeah no the
24:15
variety is is so important on so many
24:18
different levels and also modi i don't
24:20
feel like it's not every day that we're
24:21
speaking to someone who
24:23
had a personal request made from um
24:26
prince
24:28
at terms of writing
24:29
i was reading how um prince asked you to
24:32
help with carmen electra's album is that
24:34
true
24:36
very true and i spent an extensive
24:38
amount of time with prince and i
24:39
originally did not want to go can
24:41
somebody stick their hand through this
24:43
phone and slap the crap out of me for
24:45
that
24:46
wow what were you thinking where did you
24:49
where did you prefer to be
24:52
where's your eye okay let me put you in
24:54
the headspace you're gonna understand
24:55
this all of you are gonna understand
24:57
this
24:58
it's early 90s i come from england i am
25:01
a woman i have fought to prove my
25:05
hip-hop-ness
25:07
among my peers
25:10
now my label is asking me to do some
25:14
projects with prince who is
25:16
multi-talented a musical genius and god
25:20
but he's not hip-hop
25:24
so that's where my head was at i was
25:26
like i was giving it all the bravado
25:28
like nah that ain't hip-hop i'm hip-hop
25:31
you know what i look like what i look
25:33
like doing something with with prince
25:35
you know what i'm saying i should be
25:37
working with just with the canes and the
25:39
k arresters and the visits you know
25:41
that's that's what i was giving it back
25:44
then and plus i was scared of prince
25:45
because i had heard he didn't like hip
25:47
hop
25:50
you remember those kind of rumors just
25:51
to circulate yeah yeah yeah
25:53
so what was it like when you guys
25:55
finally connected
25:58
that man
26:00
gave me the biggest like
26:03
uh jewels of knowledge
26:06
that i could the takeaway was tremendous
26:10
first of all he flew um
26:13
myself and my husband at the time i had
26:15
one baby
26:16
um she's 30 by the way so is she is she
26:19
the one from the video
26:21
from the born debris
26:22
video what's yeah
26:23
she's dirt she's 30.
26:27
tell my niece i said what's up that
26:29
perspective yeah let that perspective
26:35
i remember how cute she was in the video
26:37
he said so prince blew me
26:40
my husband's at the time that one baby
26:42
that i had which is my oldest daughter
26:44
and we stayed at a hotel like adjacent
26:47
to the compound but it was like i had to
26:50
be up at a certain time every day and be
26:52
over in next door into paisley park
26:55
every day at like
26:57
for like eight o'clock in the morning i
26:59
had to be over there then i get over
27:00
there
27:01
and you're gonna laugh at me but this is
27:03
the god's honest truth this man
27:06
made me pancakes every morning for
27:09
breakfast
27:11
just classic pancakes apple cinnamon
27:14
what was going on with the pancakes just
27:16
just classic pancakes and then he
27:18
wouldn't eat any of them
27:21
so he would just
27:23
watch me eat them
27:25
he would sit at the table and what what
27:27
look at you while you ate the pancakes
27:30
he'd be talking to me about you know
27:32
what we're gonna do for the day but he
27:33
would not be eating
27:35
it's like you're having breakfast with
27:36
somebody but they're not eating you're
27:38
eating
27:40
damn so he brought to you chew with your
27:42
mouth open all that
27:44
[Laughter]
27:48
and it was like and i never realized it
27:51
was a thing until years later watching
27:53
chappelle's show
27:54
and
27:55
yeah then seeing the whole pancakes get
27:57
and for the first time when i saw that
27:59
skit i stood up and shout and yelled at
28:00
the tv i shouted i was like so it really
28:04
was a thing
28:05
[Laughter]
28:08
yeah that was
28:10
apparently a rumor but bonnie is like
28:12
the only person that i actually know
28:14
that had the pancakes because it
28:16
although it was a rumor like it was like
28:18
prince be making people pancakes
28:24
but i never spoke about it because i
28:26
didn't think it was a thing it wasn't
28:27
until i saw the skit but i was like wait
28:29
a minute but that really did happen
28:33
i wanted pancakes
28:35
oh they were great
28:38
i couldn't i wasn't there early enough
28:39
to see if they were made from scratch or
28:41
from bisquick or something so i you know
28:44
i don't know how how much of a pancake
28:47
chef you know he was because i never got
28:49
to see the starting process but in any
28:51
event he had me out at paisley park for
28:55
about
28:56
a month or six weeks and then i thought
28:58
we were gonna break and rap because he
29:00
had a series of shows in earl's court in
29:03
london
29:04
so i'm thinking okay well we're gonna
29:05
stop now because what it was was i was
29:07
writing for carmen electra's album she
29:09
had a whole album out most of it was uh
29:12
was was rap and so i wrote on the album
29:15
or her lyrics
29:16
and um then he also produced two songs
29:20
for me for my second album and um
29:24
when i thought we were gonna break
29:25
because they were going to england he
29:26
was like no no
29:27
he was like you're coming too
29:30
i was like oh okay he's like we'll when
29:33
i go on stage at earl's court i'll do my
29:35
shows every night it's like a five shows
29:37
five nights and after each night when i
29:40
get off i have a studio booked in in
29:42
london that we'll all go to and continue
29:44
the work that we're doing here now so no
29:47
we did not break the work continued
29:49
that's a level of work ethic
29:52
that was part of what i took away from
29:53
that experience like
29:55
no no if we can get something done done
29:58
we're going to get it done we're not
29:59
going to hold and put stuff
30:01
off
30:02
you know what i'm saying he taught me a
30:04
lot about that level of work ethic of
30:07
really sinking yourself into your
30:09
process
30:10
and executing it um he also
30:14
taught me how to not be afraid
30:16
of hidden talents
30:18
because he was like you can hold a note
30:20
i was like who told you that he was like
30:25
he was like i can hear it he's like
30:27
don't be scared of that if you want to
30:28
hum sing something here or there you
30:31
know
30:31
do that he really helped me yeah this
30:34
guy
30:35
helped me to tap into so much richness
30:38
and as far as work ethic and being an
30:40
artist and owning your owning your craft
30:43
um
30:45
that i really said to myself you know i
30:47
almost
30:48
i almost got myself out of this
30:51
situation that was so i almost
30:54
lost this opportunity by cutting my own
30:56
nose to spite my face
30:58
being on some i don't want to go i don't
31:00
want to do it you know i was arguing
31:02
with peter edge it was my a and r at the
31:04
time i don't want to you know
31:07
i'm so glad that i didn't i didn't ruin
31:09
that for myself
31:10
did you take any pictures nope
31:12
from that that that excitement i didn't
31:14
but somebody did because back then we
31:17
weren't you know
31:18
now i take pictures of everything i have
31:19
my phone handy back then no i didn't
31:22
have a camera i wasn't taking pictures
31:24
but somebody somewhere has pictures of
31:25
that whole process because i remember
31:27
pictures being taken
31:29
nice nice so whether you're talking
31:31
about your creative process out there
31:33
with them so you obviously have nothing
31:34
to prove when it comes to the microphone
31:36
what what's what's this new inspiration
31:39
now when you create what's the new
31:41
inspiration that motivates you to make
31:43
new music
31:45
um i think i tapped into i i c i can
31:48
speak
31:49
really well especially because of divine
31:52
about this
31:53
i tapped into
31:55
um emotion
31:56
and um
31:59
general climate of what's going on like
32:02
for example
32:04
and another thing is this i speak from
32:08
this may sound weird to a lot of people
32:10
i speak from the aspects of a woman that
32:13
is in this stage of her life a woman
32:16
that has
32:17
traveled throughout her her early years
32:19
and her teen years and been a part of a
32:21
movement of culture and has had success
32:24
and
32:25
has started a family i'm now a
32:27
grandmother
32:29
um
32:30
you know i'm definitely speaking from
32:31
this accent you're not going to hear me
32:33
or anything on my project
32:35
talking about you know i'm you know
32:38
i'm trying to get dudes you know i'm
32:40
trying to do this or i'm trying to do
32:42
like you're not going to hear me trying
32:43
to be young because
32:45
i'm 51 years old i know who i am where i
32:48
am in life and these are definitely what
32:50
you would things that you're going to
32:51
hear reflected on my project however
32:55
i tapped into the emotion end of things
32:58
and and what's going on socially and the
33:00
social climate and
33:02
that also doesn't mean that i'm suddenly
33:04
going to become public enemy no
33:06
um divine was written because
33:10
right at the top of the pandemic and
33:11
maybe the first year of the pandemic
33:13
there a lot of people suffered loss yeah
33:15
i mean loss is something that people
33:17
suffer anyway but especially during that
33:19
time there was just a heck of a lot of
33:22
loss loss within people's families
33:25
and then you turn on the tv and lost
33:27
within the entertainment world lost just
33:30
every direction you look it was just so
33:32
much loss happening and people were
33:34
really feeling that and um
33:37
tuff who's actually on marriage boot
33:39
camp with me my partner
33:40
he um
33:42
he lost a matriarch in his family um
33:46
a a little before that and so i asked
33:48
him to be on the song
33:50
uh i also asked sky zoo to be on the
33:53
song i i was unsure whether sky zoo
33:55
would be ready
33:56
to be on the song because he actually
33:58
recently lost his his his grandmother
34:01
rest her soul so i was kind of a little
34:04
nervous as to whether i should approach
34:06
him and ask him if he'd be even in that
34:08
mental space to be able to
34:11
write something
34:12
to this song because divine is actually
34:15
a song
34:16
celebrating those matriarchs and
34:19
everybody's family there's always that
34:20
woman that one
34:22
that's the matriarch of the family
34:25
that that holds everybody together and
34:27
gets gets this cousin and that cousins
34:29
to stop fighting and stop arguing
34:32
there's always that woman there right
34:34
and so that was what was in my mind site
34:37
when i wrote divine specifically
34:40
and uh both guys agreed to to be on the
34:42
song especially sky zoo i was
34:44
really like battling with asking him and
34:47
i just was like i'm just going to ask
34:48
him and i did and he was like yeah he's
34:50
like for sure he was like asked me a few
34:51
months ago i probably wouldn't have been
34:53
mentally ready to even do that but
34:56
you're asking me now i'm i feel
34:58
comfortable enough that i can write
34:59
something that will make sense yeah
35:02
and it came out uh it came out warm it
35:05
came out real warm
35:07
like you picking up where you left off
35:09
bars are tight both of those guys
35:12
sound great with this particular track
35:14
i'ma play this song citizens it's called
35:16
divine it's money love's new song from
35:18
her upcoming project available now let
35:21
us know what you think and any marriage
35:23

36:07
song um we were sending off our native
36:10
young brother baby chris the rest of the
36:11
world knows him as chris lighty and uh
36:14
that was the last time i actually saw
36:15
you in person we got the fellowship
36:17
speak about that friendship this song
36:19
and i mean i mean it wasn't specifically
36:21
written about him but when i heard the
36:23
song from you i thought about the last
36:25
time i saw you and that was his send-off
36:27
speak a little bit about that because
36:28
people don't know like the friendship
36:31
with baby chris that you had
36:33
well
36:34
um baby chris
36:37
chris lighty
36:38

36:43
violaters okay violators or originally
36:47
read alerts
36:49
red alerts
36:50
young boys from the hood
36:52
got together
36:54
work as like management security they
36:57
took care of
36:59
all of red alerts acts
37:01
artists that were under his banner
37:04
that includes native tongues obviously
37:07
that includes me obviously
37:09
chris has always been no nonsense
37:13
and uh he was like big brother to me
37:16
in taking care of us all professionally
37:18
but also
37:19
you know had me under his wing like okay
37:22
you knew here i'm going to keep you
37:24
straight you're going to be protected
37:26
you're not going to be
37:27
at bay for all the vultures that are
37:30
interested in this cute little english
37:32
girl with this twisted accent
37:34
no
37:35
that's not happening they're gonna have
37:36
to go through me
37:38
to even speak to you he was like that
37:41
and um i even remember i remember when
37:44
he got his first um
37:46
apartment because we were all super
37:48
super young
37:49
even though he was taking care of us i
37:51
remember when he got his first apartment
37:53
and i don't know if heather might
37:54
remember this but
37:56
we went to uh you know i don't know this
37:58
i'm from england we went to a record
38:00
store a store called rickles to get like
38:02
housewares
38:08
was before lowe's at home depot y'all
38:10
that was like the go-to store i remember
38:12
okay
38:14
okay okay okay so i remember going into
38:16
a rickle store with chris to get things
38:19
you know when you move into a brand new
38:20
apartment and you want to give the
38:22
apartment a once over so you go and you
38:24
get like bucket mark you know
38:27
you know disinfectants all that type of
38:29
stuff and that's what we got and then we
38:31
went to chris's apartment which is me
38:32
and him and the purpose for the day
38:35
was for him to talk to me
38:37
about the importance of
38:40
um
38:41
following
38:42
with whatever
38:43
following the line of direction i may be
38:46
young and i may want to hang out and i
38:47
may want to do this and i may want to do
38:49
that but it's important as being part of
38:51
violator management with with red alert
38:54
and being part of red alerts army as his
38:56
group it's important that i follow
38:58
instruction
38:59
and be on time wherever i'm supposed to
39:01
be so it was a day that he wanted to
39:03
have this conversation with me about
39:06
organizational things uh to do with
39:09
being young and in the business right
39:12
but his method of having this talk with
39:14
me involves me being around him all day
39:17
having to go to a record store having to
39:19
get mops and this and that and all the
39:22
rest and then the two of us giving his
39:24
brand new apartment a once over so i'm
39:26
like you disguised this meeting that you
39:30
had to have with me as
39:32
me basically putting in some labor in
39:34
your new apartment right
39:36
right
39:38
you know what i mean but it was like it
39:40
kind of remind me of um daniel's son and
39:43
um mr miyagi
39:45
it was that type of it was that type of
39:47
day that's what it was and so this is
39:50
what this man has always been to me
39:53
in my life he's been that pillow point
39:56
that i go back to
39:58
chris what do you think about this chris
40:00
woody you know i'm grown with kids and
40:02
i'm still looking at this man like did i
40:05
make you proud did i you know what i
40:07
mean that type vibe
40:10
so
40:10
when when we all got together and we saw
40:12
each other last and we were you know for
40:14
his send-off it was just
40:16
it was surreal
40:18
but the one thing that felt
40:20
familiar and warm and and it felt like
40:22
forever is when i did see all of you
40:26
that were there and our connection to
40:28
each other because of what
40:30
because of his vibe and and his exposure
40:33
our exposure to him the vibe that he let
40:36
off on us allows us to see each other
40:39
as we're all still one because we were
40:42
one when he was letting off his vibe
40:44
around us we're all still one in his
40:47
memories
40:50
listen to this conversation
40:52
come on
40:53
we watching the movie sitting in we're
40:55
part of it don't realize it
40:59
we're not even scratching the surface
41:00
with money y'all
41:02
spectacular storytelling if that was her
41:05
mild story for her and heather b imagine
41:08
the extreme ones you know what i mean
41:11
yeah i couldn't once you once you once
41:13
you said hey hey easy i was like all
41:15
right i got it
41:18
y'all are so stupid it ain't even funny
41:20
that's the cancer in money sway right
41:23
now always remember it see cancers
41:25
remember some things other stuff they
41:27
block away but as soon as something
41:28
triggered that it'd be like oh yeah
41:31
that's right
41:36
[Music]
41:38
it'd be detailed too and i'll be trying
41:40
to put the brakes on the details
41:43
well that actually brings me to my my
41:46
question because i mean sway tracy rich
41:48
we you know we will we work together now
41:51
for a long time doing this show but
41:53
swain and i have known each other just
41:55
as long as you and i have known each
41:56
other
41:58
yeah and they know that we don't i don't
42:00
i don't really hang out with a lot of
42:01
people i just don't and for re for
42:03
reasons obviously we know this is an
42:05
industry thing to get crazy or whatever
42:06
but one of the things i've always loved
42:09
about you that whatever it was whether
42:11
we was hanging out or having girl talk
42:13
or whatever we laugh and joke about this
42:14
now and just but it always stayed
42:16
between us and so knowing that that's a
42:19
personality trait about you that i
42:20
always loved and respected how were you
42:22
able then because to me you are somewhat
42:25
private to you were comfortable with
42:27
doing marriage boot camp like i didn't
42:28
even know you were doing this like well
42:30
i just heard this when i was first of
42:32
all heather
42:33
first of all i i um
42:36
oh which reminds me i'm not i i i have
42:39
to bow down to you because the first
42:41
person i ever knew to participate in a
42:44
reality show was the first reality show
42:50
hey hey hey moani she don't like when i
42:52
say it but i get to say the first
42:54
african-american reality tv star in
42:57
history it's had to be
42:59
[Applause]
43:01
and i really need you to know that when
43:03
i didn't know i don't know how i fell on
43:04
the radar
43:06
of the people that research or reach out
43:08
to people to do this show because it's
43:10
not something i even thought about or
43:11
was looking for but they they reached
43:14
out to me they got in touch with me
43:16
and heather
43:18
one of the first people that i thought
43:19
about
43:21
was you because you're my go-to as far
43:24
as a real
43:27
tangible person with with no ulterior
43:29
motives
43:31
be becoming involved in a reality show
43:33
and that was the first ever reality show
43:36
and you were the realest
43:38
person
43:39
there
43:41
like there were no qualms about you
43:43
there was nothing you know whatever
43:45
happened on screen is the same person
43:47
that i know off-screen
43:49
um so so you were actually one of the
43:52
first people i thought about and i was
43:53
like if heather can remain herself
43:55
and do one of these shows i can't i
43:57
can't do it because i believe i believe
43:59
myself to be a person cut from the same
44:03
cloth as a heather and if heather could
44:05
do
44:06
a show like that and remain herself
44:10
i'm confident that i can do it too
44:12
and based on yeah and based off of that
44:15
i was like all right so between you and
44:17
then between me doing a little bit of
44:18
research on the show and seeing that
44:21
styles p had previously been a class
44:23
member yes and he remained himself i
44:25
would like okay yes you could do it got
44:28
it yeah
44:30
wow that's
44:32
dope um so tough tell me about tough
44:36
tusk is actually like
44:38
he's one of the dopest uh it's i'm
44:41
really stingy with my compliments i need
44:44
to make that clear
44:47
i'm a bit of a snob when it comes to
44:50
emceeing
44:52
um and he's actually one of one of the
44:54
dopest emcees i've heard
44:57
in my life he some of my favorites in my
45:00
mind he would go in in the same bracket
45:02
as them and i know you know people are
45:03
listening like oh that's cause you know
45:05
that's your man that's your baby daddy
45:07
did it no because honestly i remember
45:10
when i first met him and he told me that
45:12
he rhymes and in my head i cringed
45:15
because i was like i do not want to hear
45:17
this man i don't
45:21
hip hop slobbery at its best
45:23
yeah i did it was at a ninth wonder me
45:26
and knights was doing these truths you
45:27
know the true school parties right
45:30
right me and knife was doing these true
45:32
school parties and we did one in philly
45:34
and ninth knows him knew him already
45:36
because he um
45:38
was uh best friends with flip murray
45:40
that pla
45:42
was in the nba i don't know who's the
45:44
sports fans in the room that knows
45:46
murray
45:47
okay
45:48
okay so them two grew up together so he
45:50
spent a lot of time in north carolina
45:52
where flip was going to school met
45:54
knights wonder ninth wonder years later
45:56
doing true school parties with me i'm on
45:59
philly radio this guy lives in philly he
46:01
goes to the event with knights one night
46:04
and then he's standing there knights
46:05
introduces him to me and then he tells
46:07
me he rhymes and as soon as he said that
46:09
i was like oh crap
46:12
[Laughter]
46:17
because you know he seems nice and
46:20
everything and then it's like oh he's
46:22
going to rhyme he's going to be whack
46:24
and then i'm not going to want to talk
46:25
to this man no more because i can't
46:28
he was it definitely he was definitely
46:30
interested in me and he was cute and i
46:32
was like yeah but i can't date no man
46:33
that that is a whack rapper you can't
46:36
date a wack right now
46:38
he could be rich but if he's a whack
46:39
rapper you know he changes everything
46:42
yeah
46:43
that's like
46:44
you know what being a whack rapper for
46:47
me
46:48
is the same as
46:50
um
46:51
body part insufficiency
46:55
[Laughter]
47:04
so i was really scared i didn't want to
47:06
hear him but surprisingly when i
47:08
surprisingly when i did i was like oh my
47:10
god let's go to bed you know it was
47:14
damn that's all it took was a dope verse
47:17
oh but that's that's not easy though
47:20
it's not that's not easy
47:22
you know people you know guys come and
47:24
they think what they got is a dope verse
47:26
you know yeah i'm gonna get the panties
47:28
tonight i'm gonna drop monitors verse
47:30
it's gonna happen and then you drop the
47:32
verse and you'd be like what really
47:35
that's it
47:50
you know years later um you know we've
47:53
we've had our ups we've had our downs
47:54
and so when this opportunity came around
47:56
it was like okay this might be a good
47:58
opportunity to get to get some therapy
48:01
and to be able to get some um some
48:04
notes from an outsider looking in that
48:07
could help us
48:08
uh moving forward so
48:11
spoke to him about it and then we both
48:12
were in the same page and he was like
48:14
all right
48:15
and so we both decided to go ahead and
48:17
uh
48:18
get this therapy which was rough because
48:20
they had us quarantining for two whole
48:22
weeks before we even got to the house
48:25
to start receiving the therapy
48:28
how did he handle having because you've
48:30
been in the public eye on a major level
48:32
so you learn how to buffer you know
48:34
whatever comes at you i'm sure how did
48:37
he handle
48:38
being called a cheater and getting the
48:40
kind of public you know response that he
48:43
got like was he prepared for that
48:46
how did you know what i was really i was
48:50
really nervous for him to be quite
48:51
honest i was really nervous for him and
48:53
that was part of the conversations that
48:55
we had prior to going in but he
48:58
was in a he's definitely in a place
49:01
where oh first of all i do need to make
49:02
it clear that he's 12 years younger than
49:04
me
49:05
yeah so
49:06
yeah so you know so i seen people making
49:08
their jokes i wasn't i ain't no cougar i
49:10
was not looking for his ass he was very
49:13
persistent
49:14
and
49:15
was very pushy okay he was a hunter
49:18
he was the hunter yes he was yeah he was
49:20
definitely a hunter because i was not
49:22
looking for him he damn sure was looking
49:24
for me um
49:25
but
49:27
yes yes emphasize that part um but um
49:31
he
49:31
really has come to a place
49:34
within himself
49:35
where he was like i don't care about
49:37
that i'm more interested in the therapy
49:39
and the end result and what it means
49:42
for us and for our family than i do
49:45
about
49:46
the the scrutiny that may take place
49:48
during the journey
49:50
he was like so so right now with the
49:52
comments and stuff that are coming in
49:54
and there's a lot of tough bashing
49:56
and that type of thing he's like i'm
49:59
cool with that because
50:01
everybody needs to go through watching
50:03
the process and the same way i went
50:06
through the process and trusted the
50:07
process everybody needs to go through
50:09
watching the process and then they'll
50:11
get it towards the end so he's he's been
50:14
very i was like oh look at you all
50:16
growed up
50:18
you know
50:22
money off the tree
50:29
you don't get to see that that much on
50:31
television that's why
50:33
no we got all related to it
50:36
oh look at you all grown up
50:38
uh and so that's well that's incredible
50:40
that's you know that's powerful um his
50:43
outlook on it
50:44
uh that he wants to show the process and
50:47
then at the end of the day
50:48
you know do the checks clear
50:52
what exactly a round of applause
50:56
historical question
50:59
